Movie Title: To Be or Not to Be To Be or Not to Be is available for streaming or downloading. |
When I discover the name Mel Brooks on a film title, I judge bawdy gags, double-entendres and a bathroom-humor punchline. (But that’s me!) This movie was a respectable change from the usual Brooks offerings with crisp dramatic direction, a gracious dramatic cast (Ann Bancroft was perfect as the wife with a wandering search for) and a bitter sweet state. Watching Mel Brooks interact with some accomplished actors, you realize the depth of his talent - he holds his fill very well and has a strong hide presence. Although this is a remake of a fantastic 1942 Jack Benny film, Brooks does a gargantuan job updating the script for today’s audiences. It’s not Young Frankenstein or even High Scare but it is a nice slight movie that any Brooks fan will thoroughly relish. As an aside, I judge Mel must lay awake at night thinking of ways to trek fun at Nazis in general and Hitler in particular (assume Producers, Blazing Saddles…) . He does it so well, I hope he never stops.
This is, for me, the best of the Brooks films. How often does one savor a re-make as well as the new? Jack Benny and Carol Lombard are amazing in the 1942 new, a must-see, but I like this version honest as powerful - José Ferrer steals the demonstrate along with a host of huge recent character actors. This is a more refined, less raw Mel Brooks comedy, with a improbable homage to the modern. Charles Durning is amazing as well as the entire well-cast cast. I have been patiently waiting to replace my VHS with a DVD version. Hello? How considerable longer do I have to wait?
